Bistro Duc de Lorraine ( @ducdelorraine )is straight 🔥! That hot chocolate with rum? 🍫🥃 Next level, bro. The super cheeseburger & salad? 💣💥 Slapped hard. Mad chill spot for a business link-up or just vibin'. 🕴?💼
Very cute & cozy atmosphere, we went there for brunch & I ordered the "québécois" the meal was so bad that I was shocked, the eggs were dry, the fruits were not fresh. We then ordered oat lattés that were good, the croissant & chocolatine were also 3/10. Do not recommend at all.
I had reservations on a Saturday morning. Our table was ready for us when we arrived. The restaurant was easy to find & paid street parking was available. The menu is the perfect size. A variety of options but not too big or too many choices. We got the déjeuner du chef & le Québécois. The fruit selection was great & ripe. The quesadillas were my favorite park. I wouldn't mind some more drink options for breakfast, like smoothies or shakes. The staff was very friendly & attentive, we just found the service a tad slow. I think the waitress we had was the only one working a full floor. We also purchased some pastries from the counter which we took home & ate later one. They were great, no complaints there. Overall, we very much enjoyed our time here & would definitely consider coming back.
Food is good but too expensive. 32$ for a ham & cheese croissant with a salad that looks like the leftovers of the kitchen, is that normal? Service is very good though.

Service is great but the food is mediocre. Definitely NOT the best French brunch or the best french pastries in Montreal. Lemeac & Chez Potier are much better options but I guess not "tiktok" popular.
Un gros bravo Une équipe de serveurs exceptionnels Un merci particulier à Johanna & Rafa qui ont été parfait, mais le reste de l'équipe aussi Les plats étaient délicieux Les cocktails également & vous aurez beaucoup de choix de desserts ! C'était incroyable merci pour l'accueil & le service & encore BRAVO !
Les prix sont complètements absurdes. 9$ un café, 40$ des pancakes, 40$ une omelette, croque monsieur à 40$, 30$ une soupe à l'oignon. On est pas à un restaurant michelin. Faut arrêter de prendre les clients pour des cons. Je suis sorti d'un déjeuner à 2 avec une addition de 220$. Bon, mais rien de spécial.

Duc de Lorraine offers a delightful escape to France without ever leaving the city. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, with charming decor that instantly sets the mood for a Parisian experience. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the pastries. Their croissants are buttery, flaky perfection, & the selection of desserts is nothing short of exquisite. Pairing these with their rich, smooth coffee makes for a divine treat. Service is warm & attentive, adding to the overall experience. While prices are on the higher side, the quality & authenticity of the food justify it. Highly recommended!
Amazing brunch experience! The food was absolutely delicious-everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The vibes were just perfect, with a cozy yet lively atmosphere that made it a great spot to relax & enjoy a meal. Our waitress, Charline, was fantastic-super attentive, friendly, & made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a place worth coming back to!
Plutôt déçu de l'expérience au Duc de Lorraine. Je suis venu pour un brunch avec mon compagnon, qui a pris les oeufs bénédictines au crabe pour 49$. Rien ne justifie un prix aussi élevé à mon goût (le plat n'avait rien de spécial & les fruits servis étaient rassis). Pour ma part, j'ai pris le mille-feuille, qui était très bon, & un Paris-Brest qui, malheureusement, n'était pas frais du jour, autrement dit rassis (chou sec & dur, avec la matière grasse du praliné noisette qui se séparait du reste). 15 $ pour une pâtisserie rassis me paraît relativement cher. Concernant le service à table, rien de particulier à signaler, ni bon, ni mauvais. Petit commentaire sur le service des manteaux : j'ai eu le plaisir de me rendre compte, après être parti, que les coutures fixant mes poches à l'intérieur de mon manteau avaient été arrachées. Aucune idée de comment cela a pu se produire, à part un petit manque de soin dans la manipulation. En conclusion, pour le brunch : cher pour aucune raison, & pour les deux pâtisseries testées, on reste loin de ce que l'on peut déguster à ce prix en France.
Was Wonderful Love this Place Always Have but now its a whole New Level Exciting The Pastry OMG Bistro the Music Every One that Makes it Happen a Mist Go To See You There…..❤️
